Symi looking at power outage

The power supply to Symi could be cut off unless the electricity bill for the water desalination plant is paid.

Symi

Symi struck me as a place geared to large scale tourism - the taverns around the port had lots of tables - but when I was there there were not many tourists. One pleasant feature (this was in the mid 1990s) was a cafe with a range of foreign newspapers. It was pleasant after a day's excursion to sink into a comfortable chair, order a drink, and read a wide range of English newspapers!
